For the first time in 19 years, this Friday, 13th September, we will experience the first Friday 13th Full Harvest Moon since October 2000! Make sure you do not miss it, because this will not happen again until August 2049!✨
Why is it called a “Harvest Moon?”🌕🍁
Around this time of year, and before the modern era of tractor lights, farmers used the light of the full moon to help them see at night so they could harvest their crops. The Autumnal equinox full moon usually begins on September 23rd, but for the first time in 19 years, this year’s Harvest moon actually coincides with Friday 13th!
This year’s Harvest Moon is particularly special and is called a Micromoon. The moon will appear slightly smaller than usual because of its orbit. A Micromoon occurs when the Full Moon is close the Lunar Apogee, the point at which the Moon is farthest from the Earth.
What makes a Full Moon on Friday 13th so MAGICAL? ✨
The number 13 is very auspicious. Numbers 1 and 3 combine to form the angel number 13; a sign from your angels that you are connected to the ascended masters whose abilities help you manifest your desires. We have 13 Full Moons and 13 Menstrual Cycles in a year. Friday is associated with the Goddess Venus. Therefore a Full Moon falling on Friday 13th is a very special, magical, and powerful day. Friday 13th will be a very powerful time to tune into your intuitions. Use these feelings to release any emotions that are holding you back. It is the ideal time to set your visions and manifest all your desires.
What star sign is the Full Moon in and what does this mean?
The star sign associated to the Harvest Full Moon falling on Friday 13th is Pisces, the water star sign associated with emotions, intuition and creative tendencies. Pisces feel things on an intuitive level, which makes this the ideal time to let go of your emotions and tune into your inner voice.
